16 Aug 2014 - Know your Regrets...savour the bitter aftertaste

15 Aug
0540 hrs

KB Swings(1min Rest) 3 x 1min15sec x 70lbs
FacePulls(1 Min Rest) 3 x 20 x 60lbs
Partner Carries(10 sec Rest) 2 x 100m x 195lbs person
GHR(1 min Rest) 2 x 13 x Red EFS Mini Band

Pushed hard and was completed in less than 25 min. The KB Swings really challenged me today but the low back fet great doing these with no strain. FacePulls with the EFS Strap i did with a steady slow tempo and a 1 ct hold at contraction for the last 6 reps all three sets. A real nice pump in my lower traps when completed. Weight is 104.5 Kg. No plan to do Pull Ups this weekend. I will be doing some skill stuff on Sunday. Rope Climbs and some up&overs in preparation for an upcoming PT test.

1200 hrs - 1 Hr of Jits

The Test

So i went to a meeting on Friday. The test on the 25th was revealed to us. Of the guys that do it, the top 6 will be chosen. Throwing my name in the hat. The 6 chosen will be going into a crucible of fire for the next 9 months as they prep for a grueling 9 week course. This is exactly why i worked through my rehab and have been pushing all this time. To see once again what I am made of physically, mentally and spiritually.

The selection is an all day affair comprised of:

3 mile Run
Max Push ups, Crunches, Pull Ups

Pool (in Combats):
25m underwater swim
10ft down retrieve weapon then swim 25 m (rifle out of water)
500m swim in 18 min
30 min Tread water

Obstacle course -Twice in 12 min
Ruck- 12Km w/ 45lbs Ruck in 2hr 10min

Doesn't seem like much with it written out but i am sure in 9 days when it is over it will have been a challenge for sure. One day, full throttle would not want it any other way.
Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
